  1. Re:Sad but (maybe) true on Ballmer - Xbox 'Can Take Sony' In Next Generation · · Score: 1

    Lets be real here, Sony has better games and we all know EA Sports games can be had on any platform. Consoles are not worth buy because of exclusive games. It is a matter of personal preference and how many of your friends own the same console. To me, XBox has no value that isn't provided by PS platform. Sony has kept me happy and I intend to stick with them.

  2. Re:What we need... on Pro Photographers that Will Sell the Copyright? · · Score: 1

    That's doable who's going buy them? Certainly not profession photographers.

  3. Re:Makes sense for Japanese parents on Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID · · Score: 5, Funny

    Me, I'd pay a square kid in my block to carry my tag home, call my parent with my super cool DoCoMo cell phone and tell them I'll be studying with a friend so I can get into a good cram school. Parent's violation of my privacy problem solved.

  4. Re:Football Season on DirecTV in an Apartment? · · Score: 1

    You seem bitter, were you bullied by a football player in high school? If you were, I'd like to apologies on behalf of all the football players in the world.

    The reason why the clock stops is because football is the only sport where you have to make full use of all your muscles on every play. No one can play football on a high level without resting. If you really think football is easy sport you're mistaken.

    People don't watch football to see people get hurt or for the violence, whatever that means. Ask any fan! It ain't boxing man. It is about nice runs, throws, and catches. It's about team play, last minute field goals, fumbles, and INTs.

  5. Re:Football Season on DirecTV in an Apartment? · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't understand the game. Football isn't about violence. It is a game of skills. People get hurt playing it but the objective of the game is not to hurt people.

    Spend some time understanding the game then go outside and play some flag football. Once done, come back and tell me it isn't fun.

    NFL Football is a 20 billion dollar business. They must be doing something right. I mean, a boring sport wouldn't be able to pull the kind of money in.

  6. Re:whew... on Gates: Open Source Kills Jobs · · Score: 1

    Wind River changed its strategy once they realize they will eventually be marginalized unless they adapt. I think Microsoft will eventually adapt. When that will happen, no one knows.

  7. Football Season on DirecTV in an Apartment? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, it is almost that time of the year again, where we give our money to the NFL and DirectTV.

    Hail to the Redskins! Joe Gibbs is back!!!!!

  8. Re:Google Link on DARPA Funds Game To Teach Arabic To Army · · Score: 1

    I know this mate, but the public at large does indeed understand Arabic quite well. As in most Islamic nations all the general words and phrases are taught to kids.

  9. Re:Google Link on DARPA Funds Game To Teach Arabic To Army · · Score: 1

    Mates, it's a ploy, speaking Arabic is a prerequisite for invasion. Iran and Syria here we come.

  10. Real data dard to come by. on Large, Free, and Interesting SQL-ready Datasets? · · Score: 1

    I'm currently generating my own test data and you'll probably have to do the same. Data is precious commodity and the more real it is the less likely it will be publicized. I would be fired if I make my current test data public.

  11. Re:Always right....? on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 1

    I personally take return policy quite seriously. CompUSA has an egregious return policy therefore I don't shop there.

  12. Re:Always right....? on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Honest to god I was told by a Best Buy sales associate that "If I didn't like the mp3 player, I can return it, file for rebate and come out on top." I think Best Buy needs to invest in employee training first before moving on to "firing" customers.

  13. Re:The heat! The heat! on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 1

    lol...never mind that you said gigs but 800+? With your smarts I'm surprised you don't know the exact amount of ram you have. Must be a slow day.

    I'm not your son you old fart.

  15. Re:Bebop on Appropriate Music for Callers 'On Hold'? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You can't go wrong with Bryan Adams, Sting, and Lionel Richie. It's universal music.

  16. Humm on Recruit More Women Developers, Attract Women Gamers? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We have zero hot chick developers at my company! I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some change.

  17. Re:vacation...? on Interviewing Your Future Boss? · · Score: 2, Funny

    What is your take on Bean counting? Are you mythological or pathological bean counter?

  18. Re:Programming Certifications? on Are IT Certifications Meaningless? · · Score: 1

    I have a Java certification and I am embarrassed by it. The exam could be passed by any talentless monkey. The only reason why I took it was because someone else paid for it. I didn't even study for that shit.

  19. Re:Caught up with the speed, but still the ugliest on Java Faster Than C++? · · Score: 1

    If this person doesn't know what the error messages mean or where to look to find out then it is safe to assume that they are not capable of writing optimized code. Just look at his hash code. He uses a strcmp function in the c++ code to perform string comparison where as java uses hash based comparison in containsKey function. The fact that Java keeps track of table of hash codes in memory helped its performance tremendously. The code structure isn't consistent either.

    One can clearly tell that the gentleman is not experienced in writing optimized code.

  20. Re:Caught up with the speed, but still the ugliest on Java Faster Than C++? · · Score: 1

    What if I were to tell you I use mozilla? You would have looked a lot smarter if you had told me to "select HTML Formatted" before making a post or even preview your post before pressing the submit button.

  21. Re:Caught up with the speed, but still the ugliest on Java Faster Than C++? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I’m sorry but someone who says "I've never been very good at decoding GCC's error messages" is not competent enough to perform performance comparison. This performance test is a shame and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

  22. Re:100mb? WOW! on Yahoo Boosts Email Space in response to Gmail · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I thank Gmail for lighting fire under Yahoo! Without Gmail, Yahoo! would have been happy with the status quo. I'm still going to get a Gmail account for posterity but I'm now going to stick with Yahoo! as my primary email account in large part because of the mail limit increase.

    I also agree that Yahoo! has more experience. They have been good to me for the past 5 years.

    My of springs will be watching football on that very Sunday while most will be in church.

  24. Re:Who modded this up? on Bill Joy On His Own Future, And The World's · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Every problem in the world can be explained with a sentence that contains the "jealous." The guy is obviously pissed but that doesn't necessarily mean he is telling lies. If you simply put yourself in his shoes you'd be pissed to.
